A Problem and some suggestions

[Cetariel]

Hi

try to get Planeshift running under Linux (Fedora Core 2).

At first some suggestions, making the Linux Client easier to install:

1: The Client should look for libGL.so too, currently her looks just for libopengl.so

2: I\'m using a Multiscreen Enviroment (1 Geforce Quadro 4000 for 3D-Developement, one ATI 7000 for just displaying things. The Problem is, the Screen on the Left Side (relative Position 0) does not support 3D, where the Second Screen does (relative Position 1024).
Means, to play the Game, i\'ve to disable the screen on the Left. This is not going to be funny. (But i do not expect you\'re fixing this for me)

3: The updater looks for libssl.so.0.9.6 and libcryto.so.0.9.6, i had to set an symbolic link to libssl.so and libcrypto.so to get this thing to work.

4: This looks more like a bug for me. Starting creating a new Char takes very long, the screen freezes for about 5 minutes, then starts Displaing the race pictures (where i am missing some female ones, thought this is ok?)

5: The Version (as psclient says) is something like 0.2.008. Sounds like this is not ok. If i want to play (connect to a server), the client quits after loading cs\' TYPE Plugin (crystalspace.mesh.object.emit) with the Message \"Warning! Object \'_p_laanx_entrance2hydlaa_plaza\' is not closes and gives me an memory access error
\'./psclient: line 6: 24511 Speicherzugriffsfehler  ./psclient-bin

thats it for now. hope you\'ll find a solution for 5 so i can play the game, too

1: This is a Crystal Space thingy, it has nothing to do with Planeshift.  And the gl3d plugin of CS also links to libGL.
2:  This is a driver issue. Ask the manufacturer if this is a bug.
3: Remember that the MB client is rather old, there was no 0.9.7 available back then. And setting a symlink is not too hard. Oh, one more thing: The updater is useless in Linux in the current release, so you can ignore it, it downloads only Windows files.
4: Not all races/genders are available yet, even not in the upcoming release. Dunno what causes the freeze on char creation.
5: You used the binary package from the site, right? This one causes some problems for many people. Better compile the sources. Look here for details. Then most of your issues will go away.
